Why gooner not gunner?

Our original nickname has been gunners. By way of mickey taking some while ago now, an opponent said 'more like gooners, than gunners'. We thought that so funny, we adopted it instead.

That's all bollocks! The Gunners are a nickname of Arsenal but Gooners were the thuggish firm of Arsenal in the 1970's

Nickname is gunners but sum peeps like to call themselves gooners.

The Gooners were a nickname that Tottenham supporters gave us, and it stuck

it's an insult, whcih comes from the word goon.

You're all SUCH IDIOTS. And other fans called you gooners cos they hated you.

I can't believe you and the club have adopted the word gooner.

I really couldn't stop laughing at the Arsenal away game when your announcer said "join the gooner club" or something.

I'm a Spurs fan btw and we gave you that nickname!

I am a gooner. You can be a gooner. Not a glory hunting clown!!!!

In my house (courtesy of the Wife who is a Watford fan) it's normally pronounced Dirty Gooners or Gooner Scum. Something to do with a FA Cup final...

It's just one of those things....

GOONERS OR GUNNERS

IT DON'T MATTER WE'RE THE BEST

you guys can call yourselves the freaking Maradonas for all you guys like and Cesc Fabregas still won be fit to lick Cristiano Ronaldo's left nut

yes it started as a mockery, but has come to be endearing and we wear the name proudly through thick and then - ESPECIALLY WHEN WE'RE TOP OF THE TABLE!!!!
